Movement Building
Travel Together is a book about the power of purpose driven community.
Today's society is more connected than ever before, yet sociologist call us "the age of loneliness." In these confusing times, the organizations and people who change the world are those who create a place for people to belong to something bigger.
Drawing from compelling new research, history, and my own experience in building movements, "Travel Together" is designed to help readers discover how to build a movement of your own, see the impact you've always wanted, and have the adventure of a life-time.

It all started when...
A couple of years ago I traveled back to Rwanda. For me, it was a time of reflection, conversation, and redemption.
7 years before I had first traveled to the small land locked country to create a documentary on the water crisis. What we found there challenged every preconceived notion about poverty, culture, and possibility.
Rwanda had recovered from a massive genocide to become the fastest developing country in Africa. They did so by “investing in the creative potential of young entrepreneurs”. Beset by every conceivable challenge, Rwanda prospered when they focused on creating a culture of belonging and permission.
This is the lesson, there is nothing more powerful than a close knit community that allows people to thrive.
